Wyvernflame

Overview

The Wyvernflame is a hostile faction in Crimson Desert. They are an unidentified group that has seized Windridge Fortress in Delesyia. They are lawless outsiders who suddenly appeared in Dewhaven one day. They wear clothing from distant foreign lands, and they massacre residents or enslave them. They command several wyverns, and their numbers are threatening enough to bring down any fortress.

Balthazar, the Wyvernflame

The Wyvernflame faction is led by Balthazar, the Commander of the Wyvernflames. Balthazar devoted his life to the art of taming wyverns and achieved unrivaled mastery over these creatures. He is encountered as a Mini Boss at Fort Windridge in the Hernand region.

Combat Strategy

Before fighting Balthazar, make sure you have plenty of food for healing and that your stamina level is upgraded. During the fight, avoid staying too close to the target for extended periods. When Balthazar begins using powerful attacks, move out of his line of sight. Once he finishes the attack animation, immediately re-engage, land a few hits, then back off again when he prepares another powerful attack.

Rewards

Defeating Balthazar rewards the player with the Wyvern Blaster, a ranged weapon themed around the Wyvernflame faction.

Fort Windridge

Fort Windridge is located at the southernmost tip of Delesyia in the Forgotten Wyvern Nest area. The fortress has been taken over by the Wyvernflames, who use it as their primary base of operations. When approaching the fortress, players may encounter circling wyverns that must be dealt with using a bow before climbing the walls, or risk being knocked off mid-climb.

Wyvern Encounters

The Wyvernflames command a number of wyverns that patrol the skies around Delesyia and the Hernand border region. These wyvern encounters are aggressive, and players can be hunted by wyverns or ambushed by Wyvernflame bandits while exploring the area. The wyverns serve as both aerial threats during exploration and combat obstacles during quests in the region.
